The same passage adds that one must avoid imposing a cheda or mūla on *. , an inexperienced monk (akovida). Nevertheless, he would eventually be 7, ili şubmiited to it, if he kills a creature with five senses, or, if he deliberately offends against chastity.
In III, 2 a-b the procedure is different, but only slightly : the cheda is prescribed, after three parihāras of the non-cumulative type (asam
cayita), or one parihāra of the samcayita type. If the need arises, it is W e imposed three times, each one cancelling three days of religious seniority:
sarvatra trīņi trīņi dināni cchedaḥ (III 2 b 4). This length of time is unusual – ... it seems that generally the demotion is one of five days (supra, "K 5. 5:
infra; cheyam panag’aiyam pāvai, Jiya 82 b), and in fact this figure recalls
the periods of five days by which the parihāra is sometimes completed. . p. 200. The meausures laid down in Ţ IV' 59. a (ad, Bh 3, 277)..are similar og overall, but some are different in detail. They enumerate the penances envisaged

stages are here recognised, and not eleven or thirteen, as Bh 1, 294 f, would have led one to expect (supra 116)

10 This presents some difficulties since it is admitted elsewhere that the agitārtha is of necessity dispensed from the.parihāra:(supra 172). This does not prevent the present
